Rain threat closes Clark County trails

NEILLSVILLE – Clark County trails will be closed at noon Thursday because of flooding concerns.

The National Weather Service is predicting 3 to 5 inches of rain in the Clark County area during the next 24 hours, according to a news release from the Clark County Forest and Parks Department. The level of rain could cause widespread trail damage and jeopardize user safety.

Forest and Parks Department staff will inspect the trails on Friday morning, but the limited staff and extensive trail system may not allow all damage to be repaired right away, according to the release.

Anyone with plans to use the Clark County trail system this weekend is asked to check with the Forestry and Parks Department on closures.
